“Book Descriptions: Treading the line between crime thriller, detective story, and horror novel, The Sanctuary is a chilling portrayal of an upside down world, where evil is the norm and spaces once considered safe havens hold unimaginable terror.
When their car breaks down outside of the small Argentinian village of Los Huemules, indie filmmaker Álvaro and his wife, muse, and lead actress Alicia consider it a minor inconvenience. Seeking shelter in the town’s lone motel, they settle in for a night of decadent fun — but after Alicia disappears without a trace the following morning, Álvaro embarks on an increasingly desperate quest to find her. Armed only with a video camera and with a growing sense of dread, Álvaro begins to gradually uncover the town’s many dark secrets, each revelation more horrific than the last.
Winner of the prestigious José Boris Spivacow Award, The Sanctuary marks the first English language translation of renowned Argentine writer Gustavo Eduardo Abrevaya.” DRIVE
